Amateur-Radio-Activity from Castles in Germany
Activity from Wartburg Castle
One of the first activities from the members of the amateur-radio club-station DF0ESA was a portable weekend from the historic castle Wartburg.
This castle have the thuringia castle number THB-001.The team operated several times from this location.
On HF we worked with the equipment transceiver FT890 from YAESU and antenna was a homemade longwire fixed in a tree, because it was not allowed to use the wall from the castle.
The interest on the radio-waves from other radio-operators around the world was awesome.
On VHF we worked with several equipment on 2m and 70cm in FM via relays DB0THB and in SSB also. We used yagi
antennas about 3 meters up.
We have here around our city Eisenach some other historic places and we will try to get a operation from there.
Some historical facts about the Wartburg:
-1067 was the foundation of the castle by "Ludwig dem Springer". With him began the unprecedented development of the clan "Ludovinger" for moe as 200 years.
-1130 The family appointed as landgraves
-1206 The legendary Minnesinger`s Contest was here and the Holy Elizabeth lived here at this time.
-1221 The hungarian princess married the landgrave Ludwig IV. After the death of her husband 1227 in palestine
(crosswar) Elizabeth was going to city of Marburg in order to live her life in proverty, chastity and humility.
-1521 was Martin Luther here and translate the holy bible.
-1999 The Wartburg is part of the World`s Heritage now....
Over some centauries was much of reconstruction and upgrading.
Activity from Town Palace Eisenach
On the Thuringia Day 2007 in our city Eisenach, we amateur-radio operator take this occasion to transmit our waves
from our town palace. We operated portable from the backyard with no good conitions to erect some antennas.
